    Howard J. Banker collections often use a confusing collection and date system. Labels often use the following format:
    [daily collection number] - [month/day] - [year]
    The daily collection number are consecutive numbers (starting at 1) for each gathering Banker made on a specific date.
    Specimens from Banker's herbarium (labels with the header "Herbarium of Howard J. Banker") will have a herbarium accession number written in the upper right of the label, or just above the label. This number is most often used as Banker's collection number in the NY database; while it is not exactly his collection number, it is informative.
